Baby chicks in the poultry industry, particularly males and unprofitable females, are often subjected to a process known as "maceration," a method of culling that consists of grinding up live chicks. This inhumane practice causes unreasonable suffering and widespread distress among these sentient beings. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, approximately 7 billion male chicks are killed globally each year, and a significant portion of these deaths are due to maceration (source: USDA). It is our moral duty to oppose this cruel industry standard. By signing this petition, we are urging the United States government to pass comprehensive legislation that would eradicate the maceration of baby chicks in favor of more ethical and humane alternatives. Please add your voice to the call for compassion and dignity towards all animals. Sign the petition today.
